Who voted to retain the British Bullshitarchy?
There's 12 of you apparently according to the above Poll. Show your face and state your case. Go on. I would love to hear your reasons.
Note : I'm RIGHT wing and my husband is LEFT wing and NEITHER of us want this inbred family of self entitled bludgers implicates in our flag, our anthem or our political system. So this isn't a Left Wing/Right Wing driven discussion.
Edit : Oh how rude of me: Good morning everyone!
There is 12 pages of people explaining the case Lisa. It boils down to absence of a case for change. Even with Bobby's attempt to frame the question as favourably as possible for a republic, no-one is falling for it.
1. I apologise for not reading back. I've not been online for a few days as I've been flat chat here with work and home commitments.
2. I'll read back. Later.
3. As you may have guessed I'm pretty upset and angry about that lecherous immoral selfish passive aggressive and ugly insufferable POS and his hag of a whore and the revolting lazy inbred families they represent.
4. I have over the past few days been rather reflective (as well as angry) and I've quietly noted many reasons why we need to move forward. As a Republic. These reasons revolve around a certain subject matter which many Ozpoliticians (including yourself) have yet to respect : HISTORY.
When will you and everyone here realise this : We can't understand anything happening today if we don't know its context. Context is at the core of every discussion and argument we hold on OzPol. Context is provided by History.
The experience, perspective and knowledge of History explains the pathway of humanity's struggle to organise itself across geographical, cultural, religious/spiritual, socio - economic and political constructs.
I think of History as a pair of new spectacles. Up until the time you put your new specs on you think your existing specs are fine and you can see quite clearly. If anything you question the validity of the reminder letter that's come through from Specsavers. Then the day comes to pay for/pick up your new specs and you put them on only to find that you couldn't see clearly at all. You only THOUGHT you did. And that THOUGHT had become a convincing reality. It's time we ALL tried on a new pair of specs. We really can't see what's happening around us until we do. We only think we can.
Freediver ....History.
